Chapter 116 Liu Siyuan
Ning Daoran was stunned when he heard the news that Huang Chengyan had died in battle.
I first met Master Huang at Fengzhi Tower.
I have to say that Master Huang is a pretty nice person. He knows right from wrong and is responsible.
The death of such a person in battle is a loss to the sect.
…
Outside the Tiangang Bailie Formation, there were lights of spells, talismans, and magical instruments everywhere, and the offensive of the demons had not weakened at all.
As a foundation-building elder, Ning Daoran is busy guarding the formation every day and has no time to take care of other things.
After the Huanglong Market was breached, he was completely powerless as to the safety of his old friends in the market.
Chen Ping'er from Qingxiefang, Wen Ru from Wenjia Refining Studio, the mortal Zhou Qi, and Zhong Yan, the fate of these old friends seemed to have instantly turned into duckweed on the water, and he had no say in the matter.
The war between good and evil lasted for a whole year.
In the late spring of the following year, the major sects of Qingzhou's righteous path finally saw a turning point in their fortunes.
It is said that after the Fenhai Sect was destroyed, an inner sect elder who escaped by chance went to Kuizhou to lobby, and finally persuaded the Jiuyun Sect, a first-class sect in Kuizhou!
Although the Jiuyun Sect is a first-rate sect like the Chaos Sect and the Fenhai Sect, its supreme elder, Master Jiuyun, is a great cultivator in the late Jindan stage!
The weight of a late Jindan can be imagined!
Therefore, under the leadership of Master Jiuyun, the Jiuyun Sect sent a large number of monks to the west.
Their goal was not to rescue the Chaos Sect, Xingyue Pavilion and other sects, but to directly attack the Fenhai Sect, the former number one sect in Qingzhou that was occupied by the evil sect!
A great war broke out in Fenhai Sect and lasted for more than a month.
In the end, Master Jiuyun defeated the Soul Devouring Demon, Ouyang Po and other mid-stage Jindan demon cultivators, and took back the Fenhai Sect from the demonic forces! At this point, the Soul Devouring Sect, Tiansha Sect and other demonic sects felt powerless to swallow up Qingzhou, so they retreated and returned to their respective territories in the northeast.
However, what no one expected was that the real purpose of the Jiuyun Sect was not to save the righteous path of Qingzhou.
When Master Jiuyun found the imprisoned Tianhai Old Monster in the underground cave, he brazenly imprisoned the ancestor of the Fenhai Sect again and cast some kind of secret spell on him.
After being coerced multiple times, Tianhai Old Monster finally endured the humiliation and admitted that Fenhai Sect joined Jiuyun Sect and became a subordinate sect of Jiuyun Sect! Therefore, everything in Fenhai Sect belonged to Jiuyun Sect.
Not only did the Jiuyun Sect seize the two spirit stone mines of the Fenhai Sect, it also strangled a large number of the Soul Devouring Sect's top cultivators, and took the spirit stone mine controlled by the Soul Devouring Sect into its possession in one fell swoop.
At this point, the Jiuyun Sect had transformed itself into a top-notch sect that spanned Qingzhou and Kuizhou! …
Putting aside the plot of the Jiuyun Sect in Qingzhou, the fact that the Jiuyun Sect went south and defeated the Soul-Devouring Sect and the Tiansha Sect actually broke the siege of Qingzhou.
As the demonic forces receded like a tide, the Chaos Sect finally shut down the formation and walked out of the mountain gate.
Ning Daoran, Lin Sheng and Lin Zhuojun were sent out with hundreds of Chaos Sect disciples to recapture Huanglongfang City.
They are moving very quickly, otherwise once the Jiuyun Sect's forces move south, it will be hard to say who will own the Huanglongfang City.
“Swish, swish, swish—”
After three beams of light, the three foundation-building masters arrived at Huanglongfang City.
The great formation beneath the Huanglong Market has been destroyed, the market has been looted, and all sorts of damaged houses and burned spiritual fields lie before one's eyes, causing one to sigh.
"Be careful, there may be some remaining demonic monks." Ning Daoran warned.
"Um."
Lin Sheng and Lin Zhuojun nodded in unison.
The three of them began to patrol, and after completely scanning the Huanglongfang City with their spiritual sense, they found that they were worrying too much, as all the demonic monks had already left.
The only people left in the market are survivors.
In front of a dilapidated tile house.
Ning Daoran was stunned.
The interior of the theater was severely burned, and a female corpse was burned to only bones. The broken ritual instruments, talismans, etc. in the cabinet had long been looted.
Zhong Yan was killed at home.
“Ahhh~~~”
The big stupid deer rubbed Ning Daoran's shoulder gently. It felt the sadness of its elder brother at the moment.
"I'm fine."
Ning Daoran didn't say much, but bowed to Zhong Yan's corpse and said, "Friend Zhong, rest in peace. If your spiritual roots are inferior in the next life, you should stop cultivating immortals and live an ordinary life."
Together with the big stupid deer, he buried Zhong Yan's body in the wilderness behind the spiritual field, and left the inscription "You Ning Dao Ran Li" on the tombstone.
Afterwards, we came to Qingxiefang.
Qingxiefang was reduced to the ground in a huge fire, and as for Chen Ping'er...she disappeared without a trace.
When he arrived at the Wen family refinery, it had been burned down and only the courtyard wall was left. The whereabouts of Wen Zichen and his daughter Wen Ru were unknown.
There were charred bones among the ashes.
Ning Daoran didn't know who it was, perhaps a worker in the refinery.
He was extremely sad and did not search the soul.
Return to Qiongbi Peak.
The evil forces attacked the mountain, leaving no one alive, not even a blade of grass.
The only exception is Qiongbi Peak. Although the spiritual fields of Huangshan, Qin Xiang and others were destroyed and their houses were burned down, they can at least be rebuilt.
As long as people are in a spiritual place, these are not a problem. The worst that can happen is that there will be one less year's harvest.
Only Ning Daoran's Lingtian Courtyard No. 77 was not damaged at all.
However, there were a few more corpses of demonic monks at the entrance of the courtyard and beside the fish pond, one of which was even in the early stage of foundation building.
There was no other reason. Ning Daoran set up two second-level intermediate-grade Blood-Transforming Soul-Chasing Formations at home.
One protects the courtyard, and the other protects the fish pond.
In addition, he also left a first-class paper man to guard this place. It was not too difficult to control the two first-class paper men of the Blood-Transforming Soul-Chasing Formation to kill a demon cultivator in the early stage of foundation building.
Unfortunately, the dozen acres of purple jade rice planted outside were looted, and a year's work was in vain.
Ning Daoran didn't think so. The few acres of purple jade rice in Lingpu Cave could be harvested every two or three days.
He even arranged a few second-grade paper figures in the Lingpu Cave to help take care of the purple jade rice. All that was consumed was the magic power in the paper figures, and when the magic power was exhausted, it could be replenished.
The main features are convenience, speed, green and environmental protection.
…
Half a year later.
Huanglongfang City began to be rebuilt.
The major immortal cultivation families in the Huanglong Mountains and the Chaos Sect all contributed large amounts of spirit stones to raise manpower and rebuild shops.
Money makes things easier, and the new Huanglongfang Market was quickly reestablished.
The independent cultivators who had been hanging around in Huanglong Market also gathered there, and soon, Huanglong Market became lively again.
Ning Daoran brought the big stupid deer to Huanglongfang Market again, hoping to meet some old friends again.
Unfortunately, Qingxiefang is no longer open.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Affected by the chaos in Qingzhou, the Qingxiefang headquarters in Zhongzhou has decided to abandon its branch in Qingzhou.
They were already scared after suffering heavy losses last time.
A "Xiaoyao Sword Forging Shop" was rebuilt on the foundation of the Wen family's forge.
The shop owner is a handsome young man with ninth-grade spiritual roots. He is in the early stage of Qi Refining, and his hammering skills are so crude that even those in the middle stage of Qi Refining despise the magic swords he forges.
It is incomparable with the previous Wen family refinery.
"Sir, is that you?"
At this moment, a rather old voice came from behind.
Ning Daoran turned around and saw an old man with gray hair and green clothes, who looked like a laborer.
His eyes lit up. It was Zhou Qi. He was not dead.
"Zhou Qi!"
Ning Daoran said happily: "You didn't die in the demonic calamity?"
"Alas, I..."
Zhou Qi said: "The war in the world of immortals has little impact on us mortals. One day... a demon cultivator came to my house and served him delicious food and drinks..."
"I'm glad you're okay." Ning Daoran nodded.
"Sir, are you here... looking for someone from the Wen family?"
"Well, do you know the whereabouts of the Wen family?"
"A little."
Zhou Qi said: "The demon cultivator who lives in my house is one of the people who participated in the attack on the Wen family's refinery. I heard from them that the owner of the Wen family's refinery, Wen Zichen, was a tough guy, but he was killed in the end.
As for that lady from a wealthy family, Miss Wen Ru... she was seriously injured and was later rescued. I heard from someone that the person who rescued her seemed to be from the Liu family in Huanhua Valley."
"Huanhua Valley Liu family?"
Ning Daoran frowned and said, "I see, Zhou Qi, the information you provided is very useful. This is a reward for you..."
As he spoke, he took out a small ingot of gold.
Zhou Qi's eyes burned, and he knelt down hurriedly: "Thank you for the reward, sir."
Ning Daoran looked at him kneeling on the ground. With a quick glance of his spiritual sense, he knew that Zhou Qi did not have much time left to live, only about ten years.
This is probably the last time I will reward him.
…
A few days later.
Ning Daoran still decided to go to Huanhua Valley.
It’s not that he had any feelings towards Wen Ru, but since they were old friends, he had to go and see what Wen Ru’s situation was like in Huanhua Valley.
Moreover, Wen Ru has certain attainments in weapon refining and formation, which is worth learning from.
Before Ning Daoran forms the elixir, he may have to use the ten thousand year old silver moon bamboo and the ten thousand year old golden silk bamboo to refine the flying sword by himself. If he could have some guidance and insights from Wen Ru, it might be smoother.
"Old deer."
He raised his eyebrows slightly: "I heard that Miss Wen was rescued by the people of Huanhua Valley. How about we go to Huanhua Valley and meet Miss Wen to settle this cause and effect?"
“Ahhh~~”
The big stupid deer shook its tail and had no objection to the matter.
So, Ning Daoran went to the inner gate hall, exchanged his sect contribution for a jade slip with the map of Qingzhou on it, and then took the big stupid deer and transformed into a beam of light to head for Huanhua Valley.
It was noon.
A forest valley filled with birdsong and flowers appeared among the mountains.
This place is Huanhua Valley, which has a second-grade inferior spiritual vein underground and is occupied by the Liu family, a family of immortal cultivators.
It is said that the old patriarch of the Liu family was in the middle stage of foundation building, while the new patriarch was in the early stage of foundation building.
A family of immortal cultivators with two masters who have established their foundation together enjoys great prestige in the surrounding area.
…
After announcing the identity of the Chaos Sect's foundation-building elder, the current head of the Liu family rushed over.
He is a young man wearing Confucian clothes and looking like a scholar. His name is Liu Siyuan and he is in the initial stage of foundation building.
"Liu has met Brother Ning, but I wonder what brings you here?"
"I have an old friend named Wen Ru, the daughter of Wen Zichen from the former Wen family refinery. I wonder if Miss Wen is here?"
"ah?"
Liu Siyuan was slightly stunned: "I don't know what you want to talk to me about?"
