Chapter 899: Preparation
“I… am supposed to leave from here?” Ning asked with a curious look on his face. All he had bothered learning was that it was time to leave, and before he could think of where to open the portal, he had decided to come to find Black Halo.
‘System, is he right?’ Ning asked.
“I see,” Ning thought. “Then I suppose we should get ready to leave.”
Ning turned towards Black Halo and said, “I will be back soon. There’s someone I will need to meet.”
“No you won’t,” Black halo said. “The tiger will come here to meet you himself.”
Ning’s eyes narrowed. “Did you divine that as well?” he asked.
“I divined everything that is supposed to happen today,” Black Halo said. “I know all the events that take place. You should know that the young tiger will be leaving with us today.”
“He will?” Ning was surprised to hear that. “But why?”
“I am not sure yet as to why. All I know is that you will ask him and he will agree,” Black Halo said.
“Well, I guess that is okay,” Ning thought. “Also, stop spoiling me on what will happen next. Wasn’t it you who said knowing everything was a curse?”
“My apologies, senior,” Black Halo bowed a little.
Ning shook his head and looked around. “Are we supposed to leave from right here?” he wondered. The open grassland was fine, but he could sense some humans not far away.
“What if people notice and come here?” he wondered. The Qi in this land was not even that thick as if it held no spirit veins.
“Send them away?” Ning looked at the humans. “I guess I can do that.”
Ning quickly left and arrived around the teleportation formations that the people were using to teleport away.
“Everyone, you need to leave now,” he told them. The humans didn’t care about him at first. After all, the ones that were using these teleportation formations were the ones that were some of the strongest people in this weak little world.
Ning sighed and had to put on a show of force to force the humans to leave. Once everyone was gone, he took away the spirit veins from the teleportation formations to disable them.
Then, he returned back to the spot where Black Halo was and started preparing for the time when he would open the portal.
He pushed away the Qi in the area to make the space easier to manipulate, but the Qi quickly flowed back in.
Ning frowned and pushed it again, but the Qi continued coming back.
“Dammit,” he thought and pushed it back again. However, instead of leaving it, he used his own Qi to move the Qi around.
He made the Qi move around like a cyclone, while he remained in the massive center where there was no Qi.
The sky crackled with lightning and struck him down for daring to use a higher form of Qi in a world that could not handle it, but Ning couldn’t care less about some lightning strike from the heavens.
There was some time before he could leave so he sat around. “How long have you been in this place?”
“After you staged your death, and the people started to go to your tomb, many wanted me to divine regarding various treasures for them. I got fed up and left the place not long after. I arrived in this world a few thousand years before the war was over, and have remained hidden here ever since.”
“I see,” Ning said. “How was it? Staying alone?”
“It was fine,” Black Halo said. “Seeing the humans and demons learn to live together was interesting.”
Suddenly, both of their eyes turned towards the west as something came barging in through the circling Qi that had turned truly dangerous at this point.
Ning smiled when he saw who it was. “How have you been, Depth Field?” he asked.
The young tiger who had come here after hearing the commotion couldn’t help but believe who it was. “Master?” he asked. “What are you doing here?”
“I’m going to leave this universe now,” Ning said. “I said I would come to visit before I left, didn’t I?”
“Oh, you’re leaving?” the tiger asked.
“Yes,” Ning said.
The tiger’s eyes moved around thinking of something.
“Ask him what you want to,” Black Halo said from behind. “He will accept.”
Ning gave a quick little annoyed look at Black Halo knowing everything that was going to happen but shook his head and looked back towards White Depth Field.
“Go on, what do you want?” Ning asked.
“I…” the tiger hesitated a bit. “I want to see how strong you are.”
“Oh, I didn’t expect that.” Ning gave an amused look. “Sure, why not. Come attack me.”
White Depth Field was surprised at how easily Ning agreed to his request.
“Really?” he asked.
“Of course,” Ning said. “Be careful though, I will hurt you.”
“I can handle some pain,” White Depth Field said and immediately started the attack.
Ning had to do nothing and he was immediately winning. White Depth Field hurt himself every time he attacked Ning from up close. When he attacked from afar, it simply wouldn’t affect Ning at all.
Ning held back, but just enough so that it would hurt the tiger. He hit him just hard enough so that it would cause superficial wounds.
The tiger bled all over, dyeing his white fur red, but he still fought Ning. In the end, Ning beat White Depth Field and dropped him to the ground.
At the same time, Ning saw Black Halo conceal himself. He wondered why, and just then he sensed something.
He looked towards the west and saw 4 other beasts coming towards him.
