These people are no match for him, a True Immortal level opponent.

With just one encounter, he slaughtered them until only two were left.

"Who are you?"

The man looked at Ning Qi warily, biting his teeth as he asked.

This time, he knew he had encountered a formidable opponent.

Yet, he still wore an expression of fearlessness.

"Just here to ask you something."

Ning Qi smiled, sheathed his sword: "If you seek death, I can only oblige."

"What do you want to ask?"

Hearing that Ning Qi wasn’t planning to act, the man immediately regretted it.

If he had asked clearly earlier, he wouldn’t have faced such bad luck, losing a whole team.

"Have you seen two people traveling together?"

"We came here seeking refuge, got separated due to the twisted monsters’ tide!"

"I’ve been searching for days but haven’t found them!"

Ning Qi thought for a moment and continued asking the man: "They are one man and one woman, with strength similar to mine."

"Haven’t seen them!"

The man shook his head, maintaining a vigilant appearance.

Afraid of saying something wrong that would anger Ning Qi.

Then they wouldn’t be able to escape.

"If they come looking for me, tell them I’ve headed east!"

Ning Qi glanced at the two, then said: "Also, if an Immortal comes asking, say the opposite direction."

"If they catch up to me, and I manage to escape, I will come back and obliterate you!"

"Y-Yes, Master, rest assured!"

The man quickly agreed, wiping his sweat in relief.

Ning Qi is incredibly powerful, beyond their ability to resist.

"Good!"

Ning Qi acknowledged and then transformed into a beam of light, returning to his flying boat, continuing his flight eastward.

"Who is this person, why is he so strong!"

The two behind him watched his back and muttered.

"With this strength, he is likely a True Immortal!"

The man sighed and then added: "You go bring another team here, I’ll keep watch!"

"Yes!"

After agreeing, the man headed back into the inner world.

And the one who stayed behind watched Ning Qi’s flying boat.

His strength was likely even stronger than True Immortal.

If that weren’t the case, why would he dare venture east alone?

That area is deep within the Black Water Area, full of twisted monsters.

Ordinary people venturing there are courting death.

In his mind, he was almost unable to see Ning Qi’s silhouette.

At this moment, Ning Qi was still sitting on his flying boat, flying along the path.

After leaving this realm, he continued using the Sea of Realms map given by Wei Immortal to find the next realm.

This time, after flying several hundred celestial miles, he discovered another realm.

This realm was twice as large, possibly even larger than the last one.

Outside this realm, two or three people were patrolling, evidently also protecting this area.

This inner world was different from their own.

"Fellow Daoist, please stay."

These few people were stronger.

There was even a True Immortal among them.

Seeing Ning Qi arrive, they didn’t block him like the previous ones.

Instead, they courteously greeted him.

"To the fellow Daoists, I have something to ask."

Ning Qi clasped his fists towards them and continued: "I mean no harm."

"I don’t know what the fellow Daoist wants to ask?"

"If we know, we’ll surely tell you!"

The one with True Immortal strength breathed a sigh of relief at Ning Qi’s words.

Clasping his hands, he asked.

"Have you seen two True Immortals pass by here?"

"We were previously attacked by twisted monsters and got separated!"

Ning Qi used the same line as before, inquiring about their situation.

"Haven’t seen them!"

That person shook his head, looking at Ning Qi: "If they were being chased by twisted monsters, they’re likely in grave danger."

"No, I can sense they’re still alive."

Ning Qi shook his head and said resolutely.

"Oh? Could they have been corrupted?"

Upon hearing this, another person showed a solemn expression, sizing up Ning Qi.

Evidently, he was also suspicious of whether Ning Qi had been corrupted.

"Silence!"

The strongest among them glared at him, then clasped his hands towards Ning Qi: "Fellow Daoist, don’t mind him, the junior doesn’t know better."

"No worries, if you see them, please let me know!"

Ning Qi agreed, then tossed a Jade Pendant to that person: "You can directly send a message to me!"

"I will come back to find them!"

"Okay!"

That person, not hesitating, immediately accepted Ning Qi’s Jade Pendant: "If we encounter them, I will inform you!"

"Good! Thank you!"

Ning Qi clasped his hands, then powered his flying boat to continue onward.

The people behind him watched him leave.

The strongest among them sighed.

"Uncle-Master, could he have been corrupted too, being so stubborn?"

The person who spoke earlier asked, full of curiosity.

"No, but his strength is immense."

"I can feel the twisted monsters’ crystal nuclei on him, at least ten pieces."

The man shook his head, looking around: "Did you hear, more twisted monsters are appearing, be careful!"

"We need to increase patrols recently!"

"Yes, Uncle-Master!"

"..."

Several people agreed and then began to take action.

That man, meanwhile, watched in Ning Qi’s direction.

His departure this time was not fast, intentionally letting the people behind observe.

To make them believe he was genuinely searching for someone.

At this time, Ning Qi was opening the Sea of Realms map given by Wei Immortal.

Continuing to find the next inner world.

His goal was simple, to ensure that before Dao Bujin and others arrived, as many inner realms here as possible would hear of him and his companions.

This way, as many people as possible would be drawn to follow.

Thus, he could achieve the effect of luring them away from their base.

Next, Ning Qi continued this way to the outskirts of over a dozen inner worlds.

Using the same method, he informed many people of his movements.

He also let many people remember that indeed, there were three of them, just separated.

Everything seemed reasonable and understandable.

Ning Qi thus ventured deep into the Eastern Domain.

Ultimately, on the Sea of Realms map, he saw no more inner worlds ahead.

He stopped there.

Then he marked another region to cross toward, continuing his journey.

In the ensuing time, employing the same method, he continuously spread rumors along his route.

Unbeknownst to him, his rumors caused many to become anxious.

In one of the inner worlds,

Many were discussing.

"Have you heard, twisted monsters have emerged again from the Black Water Area!"

"Yes, I heard three True Immortals came to suppress them but failed, two might have perished."

"How do you know this?"

"My senior brother heard it while patrolling outside, the remaining one is searching for his companions!"

"..."

Voices of discussion were abundant.

Some were terrified, while others prepared for battle.

Throughout the Eastern Domain, this news spread among many inner realms.

Ning Qi and his team became a common topic during meals and leisure.

Unbeknownst to him, his actions caused a big stir here.

The initiator of all this was cruising the Sea of Realms.

Sitting on his flying boat, he gazed at the region above.

"There are dozens of inner worlds here, and I have already scoured half."

"It should suffice for now!"

Ning Qi smiled with satisfaction as he looked at the Sea of Realms map provided by Wei Immortal: "Next, I’ll lure the pursuers from the Immortal Door to this place."

He surveyed the surrounding environment, relatively safe.

Even the Black Water was sparse here, though it was the Black Water Region, more of it was gray fog.

And around here, a chaotic asteroid region loomed.

In this spot, whether hiding, setting an ambush,

Or in escape, it was a strategic location.

Ning Qi contemplated the area, suddenly sparking an idea: "Since they will come, let’s prepare something for them."

"Can’t let them come in vain."
