C3484 A Demon Tree

"Eh, senior brother, please wait."

Just as Ning Qi was walking towards the Assignment Hall, a grey-robed outer circle disciple suddenly called out to him.

When he saw Ning Qi stop, the outer circle disciple took two steps forward and arrived in front of Ning Qi. He sized Ning Qi up from head to toe and said with satisfaction, "Senior Brother, are you a Karmic Stage Cultivator?"

"Yes."

Ning Qi smiled.

The opponent was a Dao Seeking Great Perfection, and he was an outer circle disciple of one of the academies in Jade Light Star Palace.

Seeing Ning Qi nod and admit it, the outer circle disciple's eyes flashed with a hint of joy. He looked around and said in a low voice, "Since senior brother is a Karmic Stage Cultivator, you should know about the Burning Karma Fruit?"

Ning Qi's eyes moved slightly, and with his Divine Sense, he could already feel four pairs of eyes staring at him and the outer sect disciple in front of him. The four of them were standing not far away, and they should be on the same path as the outer sect disciple in front of him.

"Of course I know about the Burning Karma Fruit. What do you mean by that? Get straight to the point."

Ning Qi said faintly.

"Senior brother, my name is Zhou Yuanchong, a disciple of the eighty-third courtyard. We have a mission in our hands, but the difficulty of this mission has already exceeded the level of outer sect disciples. Therefore, I would like to invite you to join us."

Zhou Yuanchong said in a low voice.

"Hehe, you can give me the Burning Karma Fruit?"

Ning Qi smiled.

Zhou Yuanchong looked at Ning Qi calmly, "I can't guarantee it, but there is a certain chance that I will get a Burning Karma Fruit. If senior brother agrees to complete this mission with us, the Burning Karma Fruit will belong to senior brother. The rest will belong to us. "

"Why did you ask me to go? There are countless Karmic Stage Cultivators in the inner sect, wouldn't it be safer to hire an inner sect senior brother?"

Ning Qi said in a flat tone.

"An inner sect senior brother..."

Zhou Yuanchong smiled. There seemed to be a trace of bitterness in his smile. He looked around and saw no inner sect disciples passing by. He then lowered his voice and said: "If the inner sect disciples knew about this, then we wouldn't have any part in this mission. So..."

"They are indeed a bit overbearing, but aren't they afraid that if I find out about this, the same thing will happen to me?"

Ning Qi said with a smile.

Zhou Yuanchong smiled, "senior brother Ning definitely won't be like this, because we have met senior disciple Mo Xie before. Given his character, his friends won't be so overbearing."

"It seems like you all have already recognized who I am."

Ning Qi smiled, "Let's find a place to have a good chat. This is not the place to talk."

If the other party really had news about the Burning Karma Fruit, Ning Qi didn't mind giving them some good fortune.

...

"We greet senior brother Ning."

Zhou Yuanchong and the other five disciples of the Outer Sect Academy were in a secluded stone room. They cupped their hands and greeted Ning Qi. Their expressions were respectful. After all, decades ago... The scene of Ning Qi defeating Chiang Zirann with a single punch had left a deep impression on them.

"Long story short, you do it."

Ning Qi pointed at Zhou Yuanchong.

Zhou Yuanchong nodded and explained the mission in an orderly and reasonable manner.

An hour later.

Ning Qi already somewhat understood why Zhou Yuanchong came to find him. It was because of his strength. He was stronger than an ordinary Karmic Stage Great Perfectionir, and the mission they were going to complete... Originally, it was a very simple mission. There was a thirty to forty percent chance of completing five Immortal Palace Cultivator. However, there was a Karmic Stage Great Perfectionir Star Demon that accidentally landed at their mission site.

Therefore, they had to find an expert who could match this Star Demon for at least the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, and let them complete their mission. The Burning Karma Fruit that Zhou Yuanchong spoke of was only a guess. At that time, they had caught a glimpse and saw that the Star Demon was protecting some sort of spirit fruit. As for whether it was a Burning Karma Fruit or not, they were not very certain...

But they guessed that it was because of that fruit that the Star Demon landed here!

"After talking for a long time, you guys aren't sure if it's a Burning Karma Fruit or not. You guys will definitely make a profit from this transaction, but I might lose everything?"

Ning Qi said with a smile.

The few of them became anxious and quickly looked at Zhou Yuanchong. It was not easy to find a suitable expert to help them complete this mission. If Ning Qi refused, it would be fine, but they were afraid that Ning Qi would spread the news. If that was the case, this mission would be ruined!

"Senior brother Ning, to be honest, I'm not sure how high the chances are. However, I have seen the Burning Karma Fruit once, and I have a good understanding of its aura. There is a thirty percent chance that the Burning Karma Fruit is about to mature!"

Zhou Yuanchong cupped his hands and said.

Ning Qi pondered for a moment. Under the nervous gazes of the five people, he waved his hand and said, "Forget it. I'll accompany you all for a trip. If it wasn't for the Burning Karma Fruit, I would treat it as a sightseeing tour. Can we set off now?"

"Senior brother Ning, you... you agreed?"

Zhou Yuanchong was slightly startled.

"Are you leaving or not?"

Ning Qi said with a smile.

"Let's go, let's go!"

...

Six outer circle disciples in grey robes had left the Ancient Stellar Pavilion, they wouldn't attract any attention. Even some Star Demon that they met on the way out... At most, they would raise their heads and glance at the six of them, then continue sleeping. He would do what he was supposed to do.

Ten days later.

The six of them slowed down. Under Zhou Yuanchong's lead, Ning Qi and the others arrived at a beautiful valley.

As soon as they arrived, Ning Qi sensed an unusual aura. In the middle of the valley, there was a tall tree. The branches were vertical like a waterfall. It was so dense that not even sunlight could penetrate it. It was surrounded by trees. The air was also cooler. Obviously, it was not an ordinary thing!

"The Star Demon you are talking about is in the tree?"

Ning Qi said faintly.

... ""

Zhou Yuanchong forced a smile and said, "senior brother Ning, this tree is that Star Demon..."

"This tree?"

Ning Qi's eyes slightly moved. He used the system to check the attributes and found that it really was a Star Demon. It was similar to the Demon Devouring Vines in the Wave Sound Pavilion.

"Senior brother Ning, the mission that we are going to do must enter a Catacombs. This Catacombs should have been in the middle of the valley... But now, the entrance has been blocked by this Star Demon. We can't enter it. If you can attract it for a period of time, we can take the opportunity to enter it. Mission completed... "

Zhou Yuanchong said in a low voice.

"How much time do you need?"

Ning Qi said faintly.0

"Two hours... Four hours at best, the longer the better!"

Zhou Yuanchong said.

"Un, prepare well."

Ning Qi smiled faintly, then put his hands behind his back and leisurely stepped into the sky. A few breaths later, he approached the tree demon. The tree demon seemed to have sensed something, and the branches began to move even though there was no wind. It entered a defensive state and seemed to be warning Ning Qi to leave.

"A good dog doesn't block the road. Can you move a little?"

Ning Qi said with a smile.

The branches swayed even more. Zhou Yuanchong and the others watched nervously. With a whoosh, all the tree branches shot up into the sky like sharp swords. They pierced towards Ning Qi. Black mist lingered around these tree branches. It was clearly poisonous!
