Chapter 459 Flying in the Sky

Ding Ning made himself invisible and opened his All-seeing Eye to check around. However, frightened and uncertain, he found nothing.

When he was drinking, he faintly felt that someone was snooping on him. But at first, he thought he was not the target.

But until he played drunk and came into the room, Ding Ning could still sense that he hadn’t yet shaken off this tail. According to this, he inferred that the tail must have come especially for him.

But who was spying on him?

The first suspect that came to Ding Ning’s mind was the black-robed man in the Descendants of God who could make himself invisible. But now Ding Ning couldn’t see him even after he opened the All-seeing Eye, so he immediately denied the conjecture.

He searched around quickly and made sure that there was no monitoring equipment in this room. If it was neither electronic surveillance equipment nor an invisible person, then what was it?

Ding Ning felt a little creepy because it was too weird. If it weren’t for the fact that his instinct had never been wrong before, he would have wondered if he was wrong.

Although the feeling of being peeped at was very secretive, it was real. Even after Ding Ning used the substitute charm, this feeling didn’t pass.

What did this mean? It meant that the other party could see his every move. Being aware of this, how could he not feel creepy?

The All-seeing Eye was useless now, so Ding Ning had to use his superpower. Lying quietly on the ground, Ding Ning placed his hands on the ground and performed his Absolute Touch.

Soon, the stereo image of the entire building clearly showed in his mind. Guan Shilin was with Lyu Mengwan, talking to her mother with a happy smile. While smoking irritably, Xu Minglu was interrogating Hu Quan with two criminal policemen. But Hu Quan resisted in a peaceful way all along and was unwilling to cooperate. A doctor on duty with glasses there was flirting with a beautiful little nurse…

All the signs showed that there were no abnormalities in the entire three-story small building. The few sets of monitoring equipment were also installed in the corridors and the intensive care units. There were no monitoring lines connected to his room.

What exactly was going on? Was it because I felt it wrong? Ding Ning was quite puzzled.

But from time to time, Ding Ning could feel that he was under watch. Like having prickles on his back, Ding Ning was full of uncertainties.

Suddenly, he remembered that the man in the black robe who wanted to kill him installed some bombs in the safe. He monitored the whole place by remotely controlling the radioactive devices placed outside. “Does he play the trick again?”

Thinking of this, Ding Ning did not hesitate to consume his superpower. The Absolute Touch continued to spread around and covered the whole sanatorium, including every flower, plant, and tree there.

In the end, he even called Xiaojin to cooperate in this inspection, but still, he found no clues.

Ding Ning frowned because this thing was excessively queer indeed. He was sure that he must have been watched. However, he still could not figure out what kind of monitoring way was used, which made him feel unimaginably queer.

Although being watched was not a direct threat to his life, Ding Ning felt uncomfortable at every pore under the surveillance all the time.

“Has anyone installed any micro-monitoring equipment on me?” Ding Ning thought and took all his clothes off to examine himself carefully. However, he still found nothing.

Just when he was at a loss what to do, the Spirit-eating Insect King in his body suddenly moved a little, revealing him a faint flicker of desire.

Ding Ning trembled all over. His spiritual strength was strong enough. By running the Sutra of Cultivating Spirit for a little while every day, he could produce enough spiritual power to meet the Spirit-eating Insect King’s need to sustain its life. Thus, he nourished and kept it in his body.

The Spirit-eating Insect King didn’t have any gnosis, but it was connected to his mind and had a very keen sense toward Gu insects. It seemed to have felt Ding Ning’s sense of unease, so it took the initiative to give him a hint.

“Most probably, some Gu insects are monitoring me. No wonder that I cannot find the source.” Ding Ning suddenly learned the truth. He had never taken the curse of life that Zhai Fang put on him seriously. Now it seemed that the curse was of some use. “Has Wu Tianxie already come to look for me?”

A flash of coldness flashed across Ding Ning’s eyes. “Damn it! It appears everywhere I go.”

He then tried to order the Spirit-eating Insect King to destroy the Gu insect that was monitoring him, but the Spirit-eating Insect King only slightly moved his body reluctantly to protest.

Ding Ning’s spiritual strength was exceptionally pure, which was much better than all sorts of Strength of Faith and was the Spirit-eating Insect King’s best growth of nutrients. Thus, it was not willing to leave Ding Ning at all.

Ding Ning became so angry that he almost laughed. “Motherfucker, I consume my spiritual strength every day to support you. But when I need your help, you walk off the job. What’s the use of supporting you?”

The Spirit-eating Insect King felt his anger. It didn’t dare to be slack at work. After changing into a flash of fluorescent light, it came out of Ding Ning’s body and disappeared into the night sky.

After a while, Ding Ning’s feeling of being peered at suddenly disappeared. “Swoosh!” The Spirit-eating Insect King got into Ding Ning’s body, sending him a message of grievance.

It told Ding Ning that it didn’t mean to work slowly. Since the level of the monitoring Gu insect was too low, the Spirit-eating Insect King had little interest to take the job that was far beneath itself.

“You take yourself too seriously!” Ding Ning thought, feeling extremely speechless. Nevertheless, now he felt pretty good because no one was watching him now. After comforting his Spirit-eating Insect King, Ding Ning took out the biomimetic skin and disguised himself. Then, he jumped out of the window with a mask and landed on the back of the Air Force Wing No.1 that he just called over. After that, they flew high up in the sky.

Ding Ning didn’t understand what exactly the curse of life was, but he knew that with this curse on him, the Demon Cult that Zhai Fang was in could find him at any time.

Although the Spirit-eating Insect King had killed the Gu that was sent here to watch Ding Ning, the Demon Cult would never let him go so easily. Whatever had happened, they would find him.

So he decided to take the initiative to find these people from the Demon Cult. By doing so, he could figure out a way to completely get rid of this curse. Otherwise, trouble would come incessantly, and Ding Ning would never be safe.

In a dark corner two streets from the sanatorium, a Toyota MPV was parking there. Nie Fan, the Fantastic Stones Shop’s new boss, sitting in the driver’s seat, acted as the driver this time.

In the vehicle, Master Mo sat with deference in the back row, looking at a thin man in awe. With his eyes closed, the middle-aged man was sitting there quietly.

The middle-aged man had a long face. His ghastly-pale skin looked unhealthy, and his eyebrows looked like nestling silkworms. Also, he had a snub nose, a small mouth, and two weird black-purple lips. With his shoulder-length white hair, he looked quite queer in his peculiar suit made of animal skin.

“Your honorable leader, will Ding Ning come out?”

Master Mo checked the time and plucked up his courage to ask.

“Wait a minute. I’ve sent out my Essential-blood Gu to keep an eye on him. I will know it immediately if he leaves the sanatorium.”

The middle-aged man with white hair was Wu Tianxie, the leader of the Demon Cult, and he answered with his eyes closed.

Master Mo shrunk back and didn’t dare to say a word again. He knew that their leader would stick to his own words and hated those who refuted him the most.

Wu Tianxie was also very depressed. As soon as he arrived in Ninghai, he found Ding Ning’s position by Zhai Fang’s curse of life. However, he did not expect that Ding Ning had hidden in the sanatorium within the military region. Knowing this fact, he pondered secretly in his heart, “He specifically chose to hide in the military area. Has this guy learned that I am here?”

This sanatorium in the military area was not a hazardous spot for him, but being restrained by the Peace Agreement, he would never dare to break into the military area to catch Ding Ning. He could not afford to take the consequence.

Relying on the powerful Feng Family, Feng Ni’er had once said that she dared to violate the “Peace Agreement”. But she was just saying that. In fact, she still did everything within the scope of the agreement permitted. If she actually dared to defy the universal will of the people and openly go against the agreement, even those ancestors of the Feng Family were not able to protect her, let alone the Demon Cult, a small sect.

The “Peace Agreement” held a strong binding force and deterrent power for the ancient martial world. But it didn’t mean that Ancient Warriors would behave modestly. As long as they left no evidence, even the Seventeenth Department and Bureau of Religions couldn’t do anything with them.

This was why Wu Tianxie dared to trouble Ding Ning in Ninghai. If there was no witness and evidence, he could run far away after he killed Ding Ning and took his treasure. Even if some people checked up on him afterward, he could certainly shirk his responsibility by pretending that he knew nothing about it.

Wu Tianxie thought, “A Spiritual Gu King! It is a Spiritual Gu King! My Natal Spiritual Gu is a rare Blood Scorpion King. After I swallow the Spiritual Gu King in Ding Ning’s body, my Blood Scorpion King can evolve to a higher level and become a real Spiritual Gu King. At that time, I can obtain the horrifying power that a practitioner who has reached the Real Martial Arts Realm could have. Then, who else could be a match for me in the Sky Martial Arts?”

For him, his trip to Ninghai could bring him two things at one stroke. For one thing, he could get the Spiritual Gu King that he had dreamt of to help his Natal Spiritual Gu evolve. For another, he could give Zhai Ying an explanation. Then why not go ahead and do it? Thus, Zhai Ying felt extremely relaxed.

Out of the blue, Wu Tianxie spat out a bit of blood. Master Mo’s face changed drastically, and he cried out involuntarily, “Your Honorable, what’s wrong with you?”

“I’m fine. He killed my Essential-blood Gu!”

Although the Essential-blood Gu was not Wu Tianxie’s Natal Spiritual Gu, each Gu had a deep spiritual connection to the Gu master. Anyone who killed a Gu would suffer from the aftereffect. But for Wu Tianxie, the aftereffect was harmless. He could recover only after a brief rest.

But after knowing this, Wu Tianxie wasn’t freaked out. Instead, he laughed and said, “This guy is proved to have the Spiritual Gu King. Otherwise, he could not possibly detect my Essential-blood Gu. My efforts are not in vain.”

“Ah, does that guy have the Spiritual Gu King?”

Greatly surprised, both Master Mo and Nie Fan cried out involuntarily, and a very greedy look came into their eyes. No wonder Wu Tianxie was so concerned about Ding Ning’s whereabouts. So that was the reason.

It was the Spiritual Gu King! If they could get it, they could attain the highest level in one step and became the elder of the Demon Cult. If that was the case, how could it not arouse their desires?

“Humph, forget your improper ambitions. Do whatever I tell you to do honestly, and I will treat you fairly. Otherwise, humph!”

Wu Tianxie snorted with a stern face. Master Mo and Nie Fan’s faces changed dramatically with fear and kept saying that they dared not to do that.

“Since he found my Essential-blood Gu, he must have known my arrival. I’d like to see how you plan to deal with it,” Wu Tianxie said.

He firmly believed that he could certainly get Ding Ning’s Spiritual Gu King. It was true that he feared the Spiritual Gu King to the extreme, but he didn’t believe that people like Ding Ning was able to drive the Spiritual Gu King as well as he could. Therefore, he firmly believed that Ding Ning was not his opponent. All he wanted now was to lure Ding Ning out so that he could take advantage to kill him and take his Gu.

He immediately took out a bronze mirror and mumbled some words. Then, he bit the tip of his tongue and sprayed some essential blood on the mirror. Around the blood, a series of concentric rings appeared on the mirror surface, like ripples in water. Then, a faint green light spot appeared.

Wu Tianxie looked stunned. This green light spot presented the curse of life that Zhai Fang placed in Ding Ning’s body, which could show the position of Ding Ning. But at this moment, the bronze mirror demonstrated that Ding Ning was now high in the sky. Wasn’t this sheer nonsense?

“Does this magic treasure passed down from ancient times make a mistake? But it is unlikely to happen.” Wu Tianxie pondered, feeling quite puzzled. Frowning, he asked, “Was there any plane that has taken off just now?”

“A plane? No. Planes are at the airport.”

Master Mo and Nie Fan replied in confusion.

“Rubbish!”

Wu Tianxie swore peevishly. He was too lazy to talk with the two waste followers.

He held the bronze mirror and looked into it carefully. “It is true that Ding Ning is in the air. Moreover, he keeps moving at high speed.”

“But we are so close to the sanatorium, none of us has heard the roar of a helicopter when it took off. How could he go up to the sky? It is incredible.”
