Forbidden Zone of the Human Race

“Are you leaving? Or not?” Amplified by the Sovereign’s Throne, Xiang Ning’s voice sounded like the King of Hell. This teenager’s cultivation was stronger than theirs, his aura so intimidating it suffocated them. 

“You....” 

“Ya… Ya Wen, we’ll go, we’ll go. Calm down, calm down.” 

Ya Wen coldly huffed, ignoring the blade at his neck. He stood up, but the blade remained at his neck. As long as he moved forward, it would slit his throat. “We’ll go!” He glanced at Xiang Ning, then turned to leave. He wasn’t blind; based on that knife and aura, the brat was no ordinary person. Offending a powerful entity over a sweetsop wasn’t worth it, but…. 

Watching them leave, Ye Lingling heaved a sigh of relief and gasped in surprise, “I didn’t know you’re a spiritual cultivator too! But, that’s really too reckless of you. Although the Dancing Dragon Guild isn’t considered a major organization in Kunlun City, their leader is a tier five, seven-star master. If you offend them like this, it’ll definitely affect your future here,” she continued. 

Xiang Ning shook his head with a smile. He quite liked this honest, straightforward girl. She was in danger, but she was still concerned about him. 

“I can help you. I know a team that isn’t afraid of the Dancing Dragon Guild and really needs a spiritual cultivator. I think you’ll do,” said Ye Lingling. Spiritual cultivators were very much in demand here, as they were critical in killing stronger beasts. As long as a spiritual cultivator was at least tier three, they would be respected. 

“Now’s no time for a lecture, we should quickly get the sweetsop.” He looked up. 

She nodded. “You go take it, we’ll attract the beast.” She took out a bottle that contained the Diska Wasp’s honey. 

Their plan had been for Ye Lingling to retrieve it, but Xiang Ning had won their trust after scaring the attackers away, and had displayed great strength in doing so, so they let him do it. 

“There’s no need for that, I’ll be quick.” Twenty blades appeared from Xiang Ning’s dimensional ring, then, before they knew what happened, he jumped higher and higher up each blade, finally plucking the two sweetsops. 

But there was no time for cheers as they pointed to the other side of the sky, shouting, “Xiang Ning! Careful! The Silver Sparrow!” They would have a difficult time fighting a tier four Silver Sparrow on the ground—it would be even worse in the sky! Their plan to attract it involved them hiding in a cave and waiting for the sparrow to leave on its own. They didn’t want to face it. 

Much to their terror, a shimmering blade slid through the air, and in two seconds, the sparrow lost its tail, scaring it so much that it turned and flew away. The three siblings’ jaws dropped. 

Xiang Ning descended and turned to them. “I’ve got the fruit, let’s go.” 

“How… you… are you really tier three?” 

“When did I say that?” Xiang Ning smiled. 

Ye Xuan suddenly understood everything and gasped, “Sis, you didn’t even know what his cultivation level was?!” 

“I… I saw that he was a newcomer and he’s about your age, so I thought he’d be about your cultivation level at most,” she lamented, though when she remembered she was their elder sister, she placed her hands on her hips. “Why don’t you thank your elder sister for having such great intuition then? If it weren’t for me, we wouldn’t have gotten such an awesome guy like Xiang Ning.” 

“Alright, are you guys planning to eat the fruit or sell it? If you want to sell it, can you sell one to me?” he said. 

“Uh… it’s fine, it’s fine. If you need it, I’ll give you one. We’ll keep the other.” She smiled. 

Ye Ming wanted to say something, but Ye Xuan stopped him.

Since Xiang Ning didn’t understand what was happening, he just accepted the fruit. “Alright, now that everything’s done, if there’s nothing else, we’ll leave now.” 

“Mm, with your cultivation, the Dancing Dragon Guild won’t touch you.” After seeing the tier four Silver Sparrow literally fly away from Xiang Ning, Ye Lingling was fully confident in his abilities. 

On the way back, Xiang Ning’s eyes darted at a tree by the road, smirking. It was Ya Wen and his gang, but he didn’t care. 

“Brother Ya Wen, did you find out?” 

“And here I thought he was someone important. He’s just some kid who’s been here for barely two days. He just registered as a hunter yesterday, I can’t believe he’s a spiritual cultivator.” 

“A spiritual cultivator? What do we do now?” 

“If we can’t fight him, we can fight Ye Lingling and her brothers, don’t you think?” Ya Wen solemnly said. That sweetsop was his! 

......

Very soon, the team arrived back at Kunlun City. “We’ll go our separate ways from here. Thank you for your help.”

“Haha, it’s nothing. I even got myself a sweetsop!” 

“Well… see you when I see you.” Ye Lingling waved, then left with her two brothers. 

Xiang Ning went to a shop and bought an airtight box, then went to the Federation post office and mailed the sweetsop to Marsh City. Then he texted his little sister. 

After everything, he left the post office and looked at Kunlun City’s map. “The People’s Hospital of Kunlun, is it?” 

On the other side. 

“Sis, will the sweetsop really work?”

A quick look at tinyurl.com/2p9emv8w will leave you more fulfilled.

“Definitely. Sweetsop helps speed up a spiritual cultivator’s cultivation, triggering the human brain to become more active. Mother will definitely wake up with this.” All three of them were standing around a hospital bed. A pale, sickly woman lay there, her features similar to the three teenagers, Ye Lingling in particular. 

“Oh? Are you sure you’re going to let your mother eat that?” A cold voice boomed. 

“You!” 

“Hehe, looks like it’s true. You have a treasure like this with you, and yet you still say you have no money?” 

They were the debt collectors from yesterday. 

“Hehe, as long as you give me that sweetsop, I’ll match it with the market price, and I’ll even return you the balance after interest. You’d still have twenty million left, what do you think? It’ll be enough for all three of you.” 

“What? Twenty million? This sweetsop is worth a hundred million. Also, this is for my mother! As for the money, I’ll figure out another way to pay you!” Ye Lingling stared at them. 

“Hehe, for her? She’s in a coma, so we’re not even sure if she’ll wake. Even if she does, how will you pay us?” 

“I… I’ll pay you with my body!” Ye Lingling clenched her teeth. All she wanted was to save her mother.
