Chapter 166 The Untamed: Ning Miaomiao 28
Ning Miaomiao and Wei Ying arrived one after the other at a point within the city. Standing on a rooftop, they looked out at Wen Ruohan kneeling in the distance.
Wen Ruohan glanced up and saw Ning Miaomiao's figure. As if he had thought of something, he chuckled softly. Their Wen family might not be able to get through this hurdle.
The Wen clan had existed for hundreds of years, yet it was about to be defeated by Wen Ruohan. When he became the sect leader, he clearly said that he would lead the Wen clan to become the head of all immortal families. What he was pursuing was clearly the improvement of cultivation.
It all started with the Yin Iron; the Yin Iron was indeed a demonic substance.
Ning Miaomiao and Wei Ying entered the tribulation area. Worried that they would be struck by lightning, she took out the Jade Purity Kunlun Fan.
The fan rapidly enlarged, forming a protective barrier above their heads. With this divine weapon unleashed, none could rival it, and the swords of the disciples from various sects became uncontrollable.
This was still the result of Ning Miaomiao suppressing the Jade Purity Kunlun Fan. In the past, when she used the Jade Purity Kunlun Fan, she always suppressed it to the level of a celestial artifact.
"This aura is terrifying; it's not even a celestial artifact."
"More powerful than a celestial artifact, could it be a legendary divine artifact?"
Nie Mingjue followed closely behind Wei Ying, while the others, fearing for their lives, dared not enter.
The last bolt of lightning struck, creating a large crater in the ground. Wen Ruohan, naturally unable to withstand it, lay helplessly in the crater, seemingly struggling to breathe.
If you fail in your tribulation, no spiritual rain will fall; the dark clouds will gradually recede.
Ning Miaomiao came to Wen Ruohan's side with a complicated look in her eyes. Wen Ruohan was indeed quite capable.
"Hand over the Yin Iron, you don't want me to search the corpse, do you?" Ning Miaomiao didn't dare to wait any longer, after all, Wen Ruohan didn't look like he could hold on much longer.
"Hehehe!" Wen Ruohan rolled over, laughing as blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.
"In the end, I, Wen Ruohan, lost. From the moment I learned from Wen Zhuliu that the Qingyun Sect had appeared out of nowhere, I knew that even if my cultivation improved, I wouldn't be able to overcome the Wen family..."
Wen Ruohan rambled on and on, and finally slowly stopped breathing.
Ning Miaomiao glanced at Wei Ying and urged him to hurry up and search for the Yin Iron. Did she expect the sect leader to do it?
Wei Ying pouted, "My sister will order me around."
The two completely ignored Nie Mingjue, who arrived late. Wei Ying stepped forward without much resistance and took out the Yin Iron. The Yin energy on the Yin Iron had actually decreased a lot.
Perhaps because Wen Ruohan did not survive the tribulation of lightning, he did not completely transform into a gentle and refined person.
With Wen Ruohan dead, the puppets outside the city instantly lost control, and the Sunshot Campaign officially came to an end.
Jin Guangshan, who had been missing, suddenly appeared outside the City of Never Sleeps, leading a large number of disciples to clean up the battlefield.
Jin Guangshan arrived in the city, looked down at the dead Wen Ruohan, and his eyes were full of calculation.
Looking up, he regained his usual demeanor and politely exchanged pleasantries with Nie Mingjue.
"Thanks to Sect Leader Nie."
"Hmph, Sect Leader Jin, you've arrived just in time. Where were you earlier? Besides, Wen Ruohan was struck by lightning, not by any of us." Wei Ying was a man of few words; he was always outspoken.
He utterly despised Jin Guangshan's actions. He had many illegitimate children, yet he pretended to love his wife. His hypocritical behavior was truly disgusting.
Jin Guangshan was a shameless man who directly discussed with Nie Mingjue how to deal with the remnants of the Wen clan.
Ning Miaomiao didn't want to see them act like this, so she turned around and left.
Because the Wen family's matter had not yet been resolved, the people from the Qingyun Sect stayed for a few more days.
Ning Miaomiao carefully examined Wen Ruohan's Yin Iron. Some members of the various immortal families had mentioned the whereabouts of the Yin Iron, but they were too busy with other matters to pay attention. After all, the Wen family's interests were so great that they wanted to divide them up.
For example, the Wen family's collection, how the Wen family's territory was redivided, and so on.
The Qingyun Sect doesn't care about that; any single item in their collection is more powerful than all the other immortal sects combined.
However, the handling of the Wen clan remnants caused conflict among the various cultivation sects. The Lan clan, which had always prioritized education, proposed that Lan Xichen release the elderly, weak, sick, disabled, and powerless members of the Wen clan.
Kim Kwang-sun rejected it outright.
"We don't have a single piece of Yin Iron in our hands now. Who knows where it went? If it falls into the hands of the remnants of the Wen clan, or someone with ambition, wouldn't the Wen clan's fate repeat itself?"
After speaking, Jin Guangshan glanced at Ning Miaomiao.
As if the hint wasn't obvious enough, he then looked towards the location of the Qingyun Sect several more times.
Even the most oblivious person would know that there was something wrong with the Qingyun Sect, but now that the Wen Clan's matter had just ended, Lan Xichen and Nie Mingjue did not want to cause any further trouble.
The Jin clan suffered the fewest losses in this sun-shooting expedition, and for a time became the leader among all the immortals.
Jin Guangshan then suggested, "Why not keep the old, weak, sick and disabled under guard to prevent them from causing trouble, but those stained with the blood of cultivators should be exterminated directly."
Kim Kwang-sun's suggestion was quickly accepted by everyone.
Seeing that the matter had been resolved, Wei Ying told Ning Miaomiao and went to find Lan Zhan.
But Kim says one thing to the public and another behind their backs.
Lan Zhan and Wei Ying accidentally encountered Jin Zixuan shooting the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled of the Wen clan, and the two joined forces to stop Jin Zixuan's actions.
"You are indeed noble. Even if it wasn't me, it would have been someone from another immortal family," Jin Zixuan said arrogantly, but he didn't shoot any more Wen family members.
Lan Zhan and Wei Ying understood that the other cultivation clans had grudges against the Wen clan, including the Lan clan.
"The number of wronged souls in Qishan will increase again," Wei Ying sighed.
Then, Wei Ying suggested that they compose a song called "Rest in Peace" to let the wronged souls of Qishan rest in peace.
Wei Ying took out 'Chen Qian' from his spatial ring. It was a flute that Wei Ying had crafted himself before the Sunshot Campaign.
The two sat on a rock, one playing the zither and the other the flute.
The quiet and gentle melody wanders through Qishan, seemingly soothing people's souls.
With the Wen clan destroyed and the aftermath handled, Ning Miaomiao led Wei Ying and Gu Changfeng back to Yiling.
Unfortunately, Ning Miaomiao, who left a day earlier, missed the attack on the Qingyun Sect by the immortals.
It turns out that the Jin family found out that Ning Miaomiao of the Qingyun Sect had taken the Yin Iron from Wen Ruohan. Nie Mingjue wanted to help Ning Miaomiao cover it up, but there were only four people present at the time, and Jin Guangshan did not receive the Yin Iron from Wen Ruohan.
Naturally, people would suspect the Qingyun Sect. Now that Jin Guangshan has released this information, those who were already dissatisfied with the Qingyun Sect will naturally be further fueled.
The Qingyun Sect has only been established for a few years, yet it stands on equal footing with the four major sects. How many smaller sects can submit to them?
In addition, during the Sunshot Campaign, a powerful aura suddenly appeared, resembling that of a divine artifact. Who wouldn't want to possess it? If the Qingyun Sect were to be destroyed like the Wen Clan, then the Qingyun Sect's immortal artifacts and divine artifacts would naturally become their spoils of war.
Fortunately, Ning Miaomiao was unaware of what these immortals were thinking. If she had known, she definitely wouldn't have been able to hold out until the rules were established; she would have wiped them out immediately.
This was beyond Ning Miaomiao's expectations. She didn't expect Wen Ruohan to be able to undergo the tribulation of lightning. She thought that to get the last piece of Yin Iron, she would have to fight with all the immortals.
